Konoha: The Night of the Clan Massacre, I Transmigrated into Two Pirates

The expressions of the ninjas present all changed.

If Fugaku is no longer the clan head, then who is maintaining order within the Uchiha clan now?

Thinking about this.

Everyone started to panic.

"What a joke, Fugaku!" Danzo couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "If you're not the clan leader, then who is? How can you say such things?"

Fugaku looked at him calmly and asked, "Does Elder Danzo think I'm joking?"

"Otherwise what?" Danzo's face flushed red as he glared at Fugaku, trying to find a trace of humility.

But they found nothing.

Fugaku remained calm and composed, letting him scrutinize him.

"you……!"

Danzo panicked immediately; what Fugaku said seemed to be true!

"Danzo, calm down." The Third Hokage spoke, looking at Fugaku with surprise and uncertainty: "Fugaku, when did this happen?"

"Just now," Fugaku replied with a smile.

moment.

The gazes of the other ninjas were like nails, fixed on the Third Hokage.

Is this what you meant by "don't worry"?

Is this what you meant by trusting Fugaku and believing he would control the situation?

He's not even the clan chief anymore!

"Cough cough..."

The Third Hokage felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and was also somewhat embarrassed, as his judgment had actually been seriously flawed.

But it's okay.

If Fugaku were still alive, he could still win over the doves among the Uchiha clan.

However, before that, we need to understand the current situation of the Uchiha clan.

"Can you tell me who the new clan leader is?" the Third Hokage asked thoughtfully.

"It's almost a first-class university."

Fugaku replied with a smile, while looking at the group of Jonin present: "It was also he who used his extraordinary swordsmanship to defeat my good-for-nothing son's Susanoo."

"His strength and strategy far surpass mine; I am ashamed of my own abilities."

"Therefore, my voluntary abdication is thanks to the tolerance of the prospective clan leader, which allows me to continue serving the clan and meet with you all as a representative."

These words were spoken.

Many people's pupils contracted and their hair stood on end, as if they had been greatly frightened.

Voluntarily stepping down and yielding the position to a more capable person?

They stared at Fugaku in disbelief.

Fugaku was a representative of the dove faction, and he was always committed to integrating the Uchiha clan into Konoha.

But now, the dove leader has voluntarily stepped down.

Those who come up then can only be from the militant faction.

But the militant faction is not the key point.

The key is this "voluntary resignation," which means that the newly appointed "prospective clan leader" has subdued all the Uchiha factions with astonishing methods or power.

Therefore, the change of the clan leader's position appears so smooth.

There was no conflict or bloodshed whatsoever.

The Uchiha clan remains stable to this day, without any major conflict, largely due to the newly appointed head of the clan.

A great leader has been born in the Uchiha clan!

Everyone's minds raced, and they quickly understood everything, their expressions turning even more terrified.

Last time.

The Uchiha clan produced an unparalleled and awe-inspiring clan leader, Uchiha Madara during the Warring States period!

Is this going to result in a second Madara Uchiha?

"Why would you do this, Fugaku?" The Third Hokage's forehead began to sweat; he understood the gravity of the situation and quickly asked, "Are you going to abandon your principles?"

"Have you forgotten the wonderful vision you discussed with Minato?"

"That soaring fighting spirit even made this old man like me feel a surge of patriotic fervor!"

The Third Hokage even brought out Minato Namikaze.

He sensed something was wrong.

Fugaku seems to have become a different person; he is no longer loyal to him.

"You know why, Third Hokage." Fugaku simply looked at the Third Hokage, his eyes filled with disappointment.

hum!

That look made the Third Hokage's blood boil.

I almost fainted.

"Hiruzen!"

"Take your breath calmly, don't rush, stay calm!"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado quickly stepped forward to help the Third Hokage.

around.

The expressions of the group of Jonin subtly changed.

The situation was completely out of the Third Hokage's control; they had just been tricked.

Should we follow this ship?

"Fugaku, you..." The Third Hokage closed his eyes for a long time before he recovered.

Of course he knew the reason.

But weren't Shisui and Itachi given away by your own hands?

I simply gave you the opportunity to join the Dark Side and the Roots!

And you didn't object back then, did you?

Why express dissatisfaction now?

The Third Hokage was breathing heavily, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

He felt things were gradually getting out of control.

At some point, Fugaku, this pawn, slipped out of his control.

What made the Third Hokage even more uneasy was the subtle, changing gazes of the Jonin around him.

His long tenure as Hokage had already caused discontent among his subordinates.

Now, the failure to control the situation will only breed resentment.

"Oh no, my position is unstable!" A sense of panic flashed through the Third Hokage's mind. "I have to do something to make amends!"

His thoughts raced through his mind.

"Fugaku, what does your new clan leader intend to do?" a Jonin asked Fugaku.

Others followed suit and spoke up.

"You know our stance."

"We're all from the same village, there's no need to fight to the death."

"Yes, why don't we ask your clan leader to come out?"

"Let's talk in person."

The Jonin looked sincere.

The Third Hokage misjudged the situation and can no longer be relied upon; they need to ascertain the Uchiha's true intentions.

"Our clan leader..." Fugaku answered calmly.

boom!!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, interrupting him.

Everyone immediately turned their heads, looking warily in the direction of the sound.

It was visible just a kilometer away.

A thin, long red line shot straight into the sky, carrying a beautiful yet eerie aura, like congealed blood, lingering for a long time.

Below the red line.

A deep red barrier that enveloped the mountain peak was separated from the very center, cut in two.

"That's... the Four Pillars Prison Formation!?"

The Jonin, familiar with barrier techniques, immediately called out the name of the barrier.

Upon hearing this, the others' pupils all contracted.

"That S-rank barrier?"

"Once set up, can the Four Pillars Prison Formation withstand an hour of bombardment by advanced ninjutsu?"

"How did it get cut open?"

"Wait, cut it open!?"

The moment they realized what was happening, their expressions turned horrified.

The Third Hokage and the others changed their expressions drastically when they saw where the red line appeared.

That place...

They exchanged a glance, their expressions turning uneasy.

It's the root!

……

"The timing is perfect."

At this moment, Fugaku smiled, his voice drawing everyone's attention, and said unhurriedly, "Our clan leader was just about to invite everyone to meet."

"But not here."

"It's there."

Fugaku gestured for him to enter, his gaze directed towards the distant, severed barrier.

"Our clan leader is already waiting for your arrival," Fugaku said to the crowd with a smile.

The scene fell silent.

All the Jonin looked terrified, their eyes filled with fear.

They witnessed firsthand how the Four Pillars Prison Formation was cleaved open by a single sword strike.

This kind of impact is much more shocking than the Susanoo that I couldn't see clearly before!

"Was that made by your quasi-chief?" Hiashi asked with difficulty, his throat feeling extremely dry.

"Yes." Fugaku smiled and nodded.

"What does he want from us?" an elderly ninja asked gravely.

"Maruboshi Kosuke-senpai?" Fugaku looked at the ninja, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "You'll all understand the reason once you get there."
